Erratic running of the trolley, or trolley just may not work at all.
Step 1: pull the 2 wires which run to the motor off the motor
Step 2: unclip any cable ties around the controller cables connecting it to the frame
Step 3: pull apart the junction box connecting the controller to the wire which runs to the handle
Step 4: undo the 2 screws that hold the controller onto the underside of the battery tray, and retain – you should now be able to remove the controller
Step 5: fit the new controller with the 2 screws and attach it back onto the tray
Step 6: connect the junction box to the handle wire
Step 7: connect the 2 wires back to the motor – the longer of the 2 goes to the top. If both of your wires are the same length, try them both ways to see which is correct. It is not possible to damage the trolley by donig this - if you have them the wrong way round, the motor will simply run backwards.
